If you're looking for an organised and professional teacher to help you achieve your academic goals, look no further! The IB science subjects can be extremely difficult to go through on your own, and I'll be glad to use my experience to help you out.

A couple of things I like to do:

- Initial test or interview to assess your level.
- Use Notion as a platform to share all my resources.
- Use mock papers that lay out the exercises JUST like in the real exams, so you will feel really prepared.
- I give homework when appropriate.
- I provide any kind of mentoring and college counseling. People who study Biology and Chemistry usually want to pursue a clinical career-- and that is a complex process!

Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. It emerged as a distinct discipline around the beginning of the 20th century when scientists combined chemistry, physiology, and biology to investigate the chemistry of living systems.
Chemistry seeks to understand not only the properties of matter, like the mass or composition of a chemical element, but also how and why matter undergoes certain changes — whether something transformed because it combined with another substance, froze because it was left for two weeks in a freezer, or changed colors because it was exposed to too much sunlight.

Need help with geography, biology, or chemistry? As a 33-year-old civil engineer, I'm happy to help! I'll learn at your own pace, using plenty of examples to illustrate the material. I have years of experience teaching both simple and complex subjects.

The lessons run as follows. First, we look together for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once practiced from the lesson, I mastered challenging exercises to also test the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her exam test.

However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems.

Are you interested? Don't hesitate to receive me!
Please come!

I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

In the IGCSE and CIE (Cambridge International Education)curricula, Genetics is a part of Biology under the broader topics of inheritance and variation. It is covered in both IGCSE Biologyand AS/A Level Biology. Below is a breakdown of what you can expect in each:

IGCSE Biology (Cambridge - 0610/0970)
The topic of genetics is introduced under the following key areas:

1. Variation and Inheritance
- Genetic variation: Understanding differences caused by genetic and environmental factors.
- Inheritance:
- Definition of key terms: genes, alleles, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype.
- Monohybrid inheritance (using Punnett squares to predict offspring ratios).
- Concepts of dominant and recessive traits.
- Structure of DNA:
- Basic structure of DNA (double helix) and its role in carrying genetic information.
- Mutations:
- Causes (e.g., radiation, chemicals) and effects of mutations on organisms.

2. Selective Breeding and Genetic Engineering (basic concepts):
- Selective breeding in animals and plants to produce desired traits.
- Introduction to genetic modification (GM), though details are limited in IGCSE.

---

CIE AS and A Level Biology (9700)
At the A Level, genetics is covered in greater depth. Key concepts include:

1. DNA and Protein Synthesis:
- Structure of DNA, RNA, and nucleotides.
- Transcription, translation, and protein synthesis.
- Genetic code and its universal nature.

2. Cell Division:
- Mitosis and meiosis.
- Significance of meiosis in genetic variation (crossing over, independent assortment).

3. Inheritance:
- Mendelian genetics: monohybrid and dihybrid crosses.
- Codominance and multiple alleles.
- Sex-linked inheritance (e.g., haemophilia, color blindness).
- Pedigree analysis.

4. Gene Technology:
- Recombinant DNA technology (genetic modification and cloning).
- Applications of genetic engineering in medicine and agriculture.

5. Mutations:
- Gene mutations and their effects.
- Chromosomal abnormalities.

6. Variation and Selection:
- Natural selection and evolution.
- Role of genetic variation in populations.

---
Summary
- At the IGCSE level, genetics focuses on basic concepts of inheritance, variation, DNA structure, and simple Punnett square problems.
- At the AS/A Level, the depth increases significantly, introducing advanced topics like meiosis, protein synthesis, genetic engineering, and natural selection.

I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy and 2 Masters degrees from the University of Paris V René-Descartes.
Since the beginning of my higher education, and since I established myself as a freelancer after 10 years of managerial career in the pharmaceutical industry, I have been used to regularly giving private lessons to pupils and students of all levels, Primary, Secondary and Higher, supporting them until they pass their exams.
The main disciplines in which I support students are essentially scientific.
The perspectives provided are transdisciplinary.

As a Master's student in Life Sciences Engineering at EPFL, I offer tutoring in mathematics, physics and biochemistry for secondary, gymnasium and university levels.

My approach: start with a structured review of the course material and a deeper exploration of any remaining unclear concepts, then quickly move on to practical application. It's by solving concrete exercises that you truly solidify your knowledge, not by passively repeating the theory.

Whether it's to fill gaps in knowledge, prepare for an exam or get ahead, I adapt the content and pace to your needs and level.

Anatomy is the subject where you can study for hours and still go blank on exam day. The problem usually isn't effort. It's that the material was never made to stick.

I'm Hina, a final-year Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT) candidate, and I tutor anatomy, physiology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and biology one-to-one. You send me your syllabus, lecture slides or notes before we meet, and I build each lesson from your own course material, so we cover exactly what your exam covers and nothing twice.

Every topic gets a memory hook: a short mnemonic or diagram you can still recall under pressure. I draw live during the lesson and test you out loud, so we find the gaps in the session, not in the exam hall.

One of my students, a medical student at the University of Milan, had failed six subjects, including anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology. After two months of lessons, she passed all six.

I teach students from school level (O Level, A Level, FSc, MDCAT) through MBBS and university health-science courses, in English or Urdu, whichever makes it click.

Start with a free 30-minute trial. Tell me what's going wrong and you'll leave with a study plan either way.
